⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼ ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ 🐾 ▼•ᴥ•▼ • Bookings currently being accepted from July 2026 -> November 2026. The December 2026 calendar will open on Aug 1. • We will be closed from September 11-16, 2026 • Please book early since our spots are filling up quickly. You can always adjust dates (and receive a refund from Rover, or make additional payment on the platform) as needed. • Three-story house (not shown in profile pictures for safety reasons) where dogs will sleep, play, & rest is fully air conditioned. I'm very mindful of the extremes of winter cold and summer heat and the risks of heat exposure to dogs. Extra care is made to ensure that no dog(s) gets hypo- or hyper-thermia and your dog is returned to you happy & healthy (Note: read carefully the reviews of some other local Rover sitters, where incidents of over-heating have been reported) • As of January 2026, I have been re-certified by an accredited institution for pet first aid (including CPR and general emergency preparedness) ⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻ 📍Located in LaGrange, NY 🏡 6 acre property (1.5 acres fenced yard) I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes. Large 6 acre oasis / 1.5 acres of the backyard is fully fenced and offers amazing space for your dog to run & play away from any dangers (no roads, no cars). Someone is home at ALL TIMES with your pet seven days per week, with the exception of an odd 30 minute errand (i.e., a grocery store or pharmacy visit). Your loved one(s) will have plenty of play time and social time with my dog, as well as any other visitors we have at that time. I have a three level / four bedroom house where pets can be separated if needed. I will go above and beyond to make your pet feel LOVED, SAFE & COMFORTABLE and most importantly ensure they have FUN!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jeff's always a pleasure to work with. Well organized, plenty of communication and I feel at ease when Volley is staying with him because I know she's well taken care of. He understands the dog's needs, adjusts for situations as needed(like the recent heat wave!) and sends pictures along with the updates. Thank you!
We had a last-minute need for boarding, and Jeff kindly made room for our Josie. Communication was great (pictures of a happy dog are so appreciated when we are away!) and Jeff handled all of her special needs so well. Josie came home happy and tired from her play date with other dogs, and we can definitely recommend Jeff!
Jeff was terrific. We contacted him at the last minute and he welcomed Melo with open arms. Melo was so relaxed when we arrived, it was obvious that he enjoyed his time with Jeff.
Jeff took such good care of my boy Norman. Making sure to update me on his feeding and walks and giving him his meds when needed. I enjoyed all the pictures Jeff sent with Norman enjoying his time outside and the company of his fellow dogs.
Jeff was communicative and sent plenty of pictures of our dog throughout the visit.
We left our good boy Albus with Jeff and Bruce for just under two weeks. It was our first time using Rover as well as boarding Albus, but Jeff and Bruce made the process super smooth. We set up a group chat and received photo updates every day so we were extra sure Albus was fine. They were also quick to respond to us whenever we messaged them, and Jeff also had enough freezer space for Albus's huge amount of food, which was a must have for us. Albus looked like he had a great time and looked cool and rested during the hotter summer days. It's great to know we can leave Albus safely in the care of Jeff and Bruce and we'll definitely be boarding Albus again next time we're away!

Schedule
I can watch your pet(s) on weekdays, weekends, evenings, and holidays. Someone is HOME 23.5 to 24 hours of the day - all dogs are under constant supervision while home. The hour I may not be there, could involve a quick trip to pharmacy or the grocery store. I have the space to separate dogs during the quick trips I make out, or during bedtime, to ensure SAFETY (always the #1 priority)! All pets will be: • Exercised in a stimulating environment. • Closely supervised when interacting with with other pets until I am 100% sure they get along (this is to ensure both the SAFETY & WELL BEING of all animals (which is always my number one priority))
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Multi-level house; two-story barn (connected to an outdoor kennel in the spring/summer/fall). Housing overnight is INSIDE of the house (not the barn). All walks occur on the property ONLY, and pets will not be taken near roads or near cars, which can give you added peace of mind for their safety. When outside in the fenced yard, dogs are 100% supervised at all times. I have a long track record of experience in animal behavior and can adjust my care to meet the specific needs of your dog. I also have 20+ years of experience with medication administration to animals (including injections, oral drug administration, etc). Please reach out if your animal has special requirements.

A typical day
I have a huge yard that has lots of area to walk, run, and play. There's many areas to sniff and explore, including a babbling brook in the backyard, some forested areas where we can explore, or just do our walks on the large lawn. The house/barn are on a secluded, 6 acre property that is surrounded by many trees. I'm happy to walk dogs on-leash, or have them run off-leash in the fenced backyard (whatever the owner and client prefer).
